Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2154

One could imagine how happy Aaron was when he heard those words. He thought that Jaylene must have had feelings for him but had not realized it yet.

He was not officially dating that girl yet, so he decisively rejected her and became Jaylene's "best friend," hoping to win her over in the future.

When Jaylene was abroad, she had many admirers, but Aaron always believed that he was different from them. Although she rejected him, she was still extremely nice to him.

She gave him birthday gifts, took leave to take care of him when he was sick, and even shared intimate moments with him.

He even had Jessie find out if the Saun family was interested in matching them up. However, once Jaylene found out about it, she ignored him for a month.

After that, Aaron did not dare to bring it up again.

He figured Jaylene might be concerned about the status difference between their families, which was why she hesitated to be his girlfriend.

When Jaylene returned home last year, Aaron still had a year to study before graduating. He almost gave up his studies to follow her back then. However, he did not manage to do so because his family threatened to cut off his financial support.

When he heard the Saun family had found their missing daughter after many years, Aaron wondered if he and Jaylene could finally be a good match since she was not biologically related to the Saun family. After spending another year abroad alone, he quickly returned to Hustuabourg and contacted Jaylene.

However, Jaylene only showed up during his welcome home party and has not replied to his texts since, which made him somewhat worried.

After all, they had not seen each other for a year. Aaron was afraid that someone else might pursue Jaylene, considering how outstanding and attractive she was.

However, now that Darcie took the initiative to let them get to know each other better, Aaron could confirm that Jaylene was still single.

Just the thought of seeing his crush soon made Aaron's heart surge with excitement.

After ordering food, Darcie politely asked the two, "Mrs. Esper, Mrs. Depp, would you like to have some wine?"

Grace sounded indifferent. "I don't mind." "Sure, why not?" Jessie said.

So, Darcie had the waiter serve a bottle of wine and began chatting with the two.

Grace initially did not want to attend this meal. But Jessie had been her good friend for decades, so she went against her will for the sake of her best friend. Although she did not have a good impression of Jaylene, who was scheming and spoke sarcastically, she figured that she should give Aaron a helping hand. She figured that if forgiving Darcie meant that Jessie's son could be with someone he loved so much, she would do it without hesitation.

Half an hour passed, but Jaylene was nowhere to be seen.

Although Grace and Jessie did not say anything about it, they had a clear look of displeasure.

Darcie secretly texted Jaylene: [Where are you?] Jaylene did not reply.

At that moment, she was pouring Keegan a cup of ginger lemon tea in the private room.

Keegan lay motionless on the table, reeking of alcohol.

She reached out and shook Keegan. "Keegan, wake up. Have some tea first, or you'll have a headache when you wake up."

Keegan woke up after being shaken and then looked at Jaylene with a dazed expression. "Stella..." he muttered.
